Scribbler’s Book of the Week: Stolen by Lucy Christopher
16-year-old Londoner, Gemma, is abducted from the Bangkok airport on her way to vacation with her parents. Her kidnapper carries her deep into the Great Sandy Desert of Australia to live in isolation with him forever. As their time together progresses, Gemma learns to love aspects of both the land and the troubled thief who has stolen her. Written as a letter from the main character to her abductor, Christopher’s debut novel is intense, visceral, lyrical and haunting–an impossible book to put down.
